Micah gives the time of writing as “in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah,” (Mic 1:1). This places his ministry from about 740 to 710 B.C. This book of his prophecies was likely compiled around 700 B.C. He was a contemporary of the prophet Isaiah. His name is a shortened form of “Micaiah” (cf. 1Ki 22:8–28, another prophet), meaning “Who is like Jehovah.”

Contending for the Faith -- Jude #1
NOTE HANDOUTS FROM THE CONFERENCE CAN BE FOUND .
Evil cannot advance until Truth recedes. The author tells us what and why of the book in the first four verses (Jud 1:1-4), namely we need to contend for the faith because false teaches abound. This problem and certainty of victory is illustrated throughout history (Jud 1:5-16).
